Sit down, do somersaults, stand up, shake hands... With a few simple gestures, the trainer guides a white silver fox dog to skillfully assume various POSEs and perform different actions. At present, more and more pet enthusiasts know the new term "pet training", and pet training has begun to attract the attention of more and more businesses.

The "money scene" is vast

A few years ago, a pet chain store in Guangzhou took the lead in introducing it, and pet training quietly took root in Guangzhou. At present, there are still only a few companies in the Pearl River Delta that have formal pet training brands. Mai Chunhua, general manager of the pet chain store, told reporters that the customers of this business are still limited to white-collar workers, business owners, entertainers, etc., but as more and more wealthy people keep pets, there will definitely be more dog owners, cat owners, etc. The owners are willing to pay to send their kittens and puppies to “school”. With the increase in popularity, the fees for pet training will soon be reduced in the future, and it will truly become a service that benefits the public.

It is understood that the current normal "tuition fee" for a puppy, including food and accommodation, is about 6,000 yuan per month, which is enough for a child to enter an aristocratic school. However, the pet chain store said that the fees are still reasonable at present, because during this month, in addition to professional training, there are professional veterinarians for health care and maintenance, pet beauticians bathing and grooming, and even dedicated psychological counseling. Dogs live in a high-end "hotel" and all supporting services are very professional.

General "behavior" training, such as standing, waving, rolling, eating at regular times, urinating at designated spots, etc., allows pets to master certain movements and etiquette, and the "school system" can be completed in one month. More in-depth treatments, such as biting, guarding, etc., will take 2-3 months. Mai Chunhua said that the specific effect to be achieved can be "customized" through negotiation with the customer. Many customers bring in their pet dogs in the hope of changing their bad habits, and "Pet School" can also do this.

Even with the "noble school" fees, Mai Chunhua's pet training business is still developing steadily, and now it can receive at least ten orders of business every month. Long-term and in-depth training is for wolfdogs that guard factories and villas. Nowadays, more and more owners are raising wolfdogs to guard factories and houses, and the demand for training large dogs is also growing.
